The internet is in awe of American astronomer Andrew McCarthy for capturing the finest detailed image of the moon. For two weeks, he had been attempting to get the picture. The photographer cautions viewers who want to download the full-scale image that "it may break your computer" due to the size, which is in Gigapixels.
Andrew used two telescopes and 280,000 individual photos to get the most thorough image. By enlarging the image and using different shades of grey, you can see even the tiniest details.
He posted on his twitter page that the image gets shrunk on twitter, but that people may locate the link to it on his website or purchase one of his limited-edition prints. In addition, the photographer published a time-lapse video of camera setup procedures.
